Bad internet match nets €328,000

A WOMAN has been awarded over €328,000 in damages after she sued an internet matchmaking agency that introduced her to a man who became her abusive husband.

Ukrainian Nataliya Fox, who now lives in the US state of Virginia, accused Encounters International of fraud and negligence, saying it should have screened its male clients and told her about a law that helps foreign nationals escape abusive relationships without fear of automatic deportation.
